Hi all,<div><br></div><div>I've been submitting a few patch requests to the GitHub repository for OpenLayers, and would like to start removing deprecated features and simplifying some APIs - possibly also rebuilding the build system. However, the current GitHub master is targeting a 2.12 and thus needs to keep API stability. I think that we're long overdue for an API-breaking branch so that legacy code can be removed - stuff like MouseToolbar, which has been deprecated for four years, and Google Gears, which Google itself discontinued last year.</div>
<div><br></div><div>This would basically constitute starting a v3 branch and starting to fill a changelog of things that are removed. Hopefully the ability to have a fresh start in some areas and a lighter complete library with more focus will also bring in some new contributor energy.</div>
